It`s a decent walk with the dogs but i think i`ll give it a miss for the foreseeable future.I wouldn't fancy a walk from Dawlish Warren to Dawlish today would you Basil?

Well you obviously didn't do a good enough jobspent many hours pointing and replacing stone that got washed out that wall when work was slow on other sites they would send us to point the wall like penal servitude
lol too right it was gonna happen nature of thet force cant be beaten I therefore lay down my hawk an trowelWell you obviously didn't do a good enough job
ha ha, just kidding...... It was gonna happen sooner or later
Dawlish Warren has a stretch of wall that has boulders banked up against it. The sea wall in Dawlish stretches from Boat Cove to Langstone Rock apart from a small bit. Probably a distance of one and a half to two miles, god knows how many thousands (or even millions) of tons of boulders that would take.What amazes me is this stretch must have been battered for years and I can only assume would have been subjected to regular checks for erosion etc. in view of the recent weather and it's predictions then why was something not put in place before hand to offer some protection? It seems that in this country we are always picking up the pieces, spending a fortune on repairs then doing nothing to prevent it happening again

No stopping nature,this was what happened to one of my fishing stores this morning just one rouge wave was all it took.

Best bit is I've got £12,000 worth of engine sat in there with all the rocker gear off and I don't think it will be covered by insurance and couldn't get it out as the wall is on the verge of collapse the only thing holding it up is the door frames,it will be full of salt water now, ohh happy days!
